The Death Knell

"Adjutant, while we are eating, show us the recent news related to Mr. Albert Swan."

Su Ming, who felt funny, also started eating. Although he could never eat without relying on the X metal, as a living person, eating is also a necessary ritual of life.

"Understood, Sheriff, I will now show you the information currently sniffed on the Earth network. The main source is Midtown News."

The deputy began to play a video.

"Good news! Good news! The newly launched speed cars have been reduced in price! The price of the entire series of Lightning brand speed cars has been reduced by about 0.5%. It's lightning fast. For details, please call or visit the official website of Xingchen Group."

There are even advertisements before the news, and a button is displayed in the upper right corner of the projection, saying that you can skip the advertisements by activating VVIP.

The adjutant obviously did not open this membership, because managing finances was Gin's authority. She could mobilize the army to cooperate with the chief, mobilize supplies for production and scientific research, but she could not use money.

Because the connection between money and human beings is too close, and the adjutant does not know enough about all kinds of perverted human beings, there is even a possibility that she may be defrauded of money.

"Skip over, whether it's to open a VIP or hack into their server, skip these ads." Su Ming sighed and gave the adjutant the authorization: "I used to think that a sixty-second ad was long enough, but watch one here. What’s the point of having 600-second ads in online news?”

"Actually, Sheriff, this is the shortest clip of an advertisement that I can find." The deputy used his own money to open a VIP membership and was finally able to watch the news directly: "I thought you would want to see these advertisements. , let’s learn about the situation in this city from a side perspective.”

"I know what this era is like. These other advertising companies have nothing to do with the goals of our trip, so there is no need to look at them."

Deathstroke expressed his resistance to advertisements. Fortunately, the account created by the adjutant for himself was blank, otherwise the advertisements pushed over would have been calculated by big data. For example, the six hundred seconds were all recommended series of 'Green Space Picnic' service packages. .....

Bobo found it a bit funny. His gorilla eyes turned into crescent moons. This was the first time he saw Deathstroke hating something so much.

However, he only hummed briefly, then coughed a few times and found a topic:

"Lightning brand speed car, it seems that Xingchen Laboratory has registered the Lightning trademark."

"Star Group, Midtown Star Laboratory is just one of its affiliated research institutes. There are similar Star laboratories all over the United States. In addition to studying the speed force, projects also include artificial intelligence, spaceships, and alien creations. , genetic biology, etc.”

Superboy should also know these things, so Su Ming mainly told others. He gave himself a hot fish ball, and gave him another one:

"By the way, Star Group is registered in the Cayman Islands, and its shares are held by dozens of fund managers. Each of these managers has different backgrounds and work experiences. Their identities can be said to be all kinds of strange, but I know their Their true identities are all working in the Lex Group.”

In other words, from a certain perspective, Luther is actually Barry's boss's boss's boss...

However, as expected of Luther, since the Star Group still exists in the 25th century and is still selling speed cars, it means that the Lex Group is still around.

He is really good at business.

"...The famous scientist Albert Swann was captured by the Blackgate Security Company today. He killed 13,789 Midtown residents in just three seconds and was captured by members of the Enterprise Federation. It is agreed that he is guilty and will be sentenced to death soon.”

At this time, this piece of news appeared in the news on the projection. In the picture, Swann, wearing an orange prison uniform, was trapped in a set of high-tech closed equipment and imprisoned in a dark cell. The yellow reverse The flash uniforms were being held in the hands of a few fat-minded, boss-like people and displayed in front of the camera with a smile.

But Swann was also smiling. Even if he was caught, he was still confident, as if he knew he would be fine.

"This news was more than half a year ago, shouldn't we be late?" Jesse gasped, the hot pot was a bit too spicy for her: "If you need me to take you to the speed force plane, choose another one." At a certain time?"

"No, there's no other news about him since then, which means he's still alive. Don't forget what's going on here. Let's buy Swann right away."

He wiped the death knell from his mouth and waved his hand, indicating that the news projection could be turned off. He asked everyone to quickly divide the dishes in the small pot, and then said:

"Adjutant, check this Black Gate Security Company and where their prison is. Let's make an appointment to visit the prison."

At least meet him first, talk things over, and then bail him out.

Otherwise, it would be more troublesome if one side directly pays the bail and the other side releases the person, but Swann is unwilling to cooperate.

"Underground in the suburbs, Sheriff, you have to pay a fee to make an appointment to visit the prison. I need your authorization." The deputy pops up another online appointment window. Of course she can hack into the other party's system to bypass this, but she likes to watch the death knell. Looks cool spending money.

She got the money and gave it to the Sheriff to spend. If she wanted to use it herself, she would have to ask for authorization again.

From a human logic point of view, this is called taking off your pants and farting, but in the adjutant's logic, this is called a happy human-computer interaction process.

Paid, the entire package includes the cost of disposable shoe covers, rental of the conversation room, drinks and snacks for both parties, and even handshake coupons and souvenirs...

It seems that even in the 25th century, these people living on the North American continent still like serial killers. Even if Swann is in prison, he is still an idol who can sell handshake tickets. Well, this package set by Deathstroke also has Swann printed on it. A mug with Wang’s avatar is given away.

Of course, if there is no autograph, there will be an additional price.

"The appointment is for tomorrow, but Swann will be executed in one hour today. Sheriff, we have been deceived. If we want to advance the appointment, we have to pay an expedited queue-jumping fee. How urgent can it be? It depends on how much you pay.”

After the adjutant filled out the form, he gave another piece of bad news. According to the appointment time just now, the appointment may be a corpse.

"Add, keep adding until it's enough. We'll go over now."

Su Ming stood up and waved to the drone in the distance, signaling the receptionist to come over and clean up the mess of the picnic. After all, you have to spend money to enjoy the service.

The adjutant also immediately reported the good news, because after spending money, everyone can now see Dr. Swan, and it is an unsupervised visit.
